Hello everyone! Just call me Aki :) I've been lurking here for a few weeks. Hopefully going to start some documentation efforts soon. My impression is that the mostly the compiler team uses zulip, is this correct?

Yep; the compiler team and associated working group hangs out here, the libs team on IRC, and everyone else on Discord.

@nikomatsakis do we have any WG for "rustc documentation strikeforce"?

Documenting rustc is definitely appreciated!

There isn't yet. I can't speak for anyone else, but there has been interest in increasing the focus on documentation. I think as documentation is an ongoing type of work that doesn't have a clear "definition of done" that it's been felt that a working group isn't the right fit.

I actually don't entirely agree with @davidtwco -- I think we've got a kind of 'backlog' of documentation work we should be actively trying to close.

@Iñaki Garay out of curiosity, are you one of the people that I talked with about this at Rust LATAM?

I’d be happy to see a working group for this. I just thought that it was the type of ongoing task that didn’t really fit the way we’d been describing working groups. If you disagree, that’s great, we can get some folks documenting. :smiley:

@nikomatsakis precisely :D you have a photo of my name tag. Fede and I have been meaning to write you an email but I've been busy with prep work and dayjob.

@davidtwco It's not the sort of WG (like NLL) that does its thing and then ends ;) it's a more "continuous" WG. I think there's also a diff between drive-by docs improvements and dedicated "OK; let's take this entire module and document the hell out of it"

T-rustdoc recently added a flag for seeing what the docs coverage is

Is there a way to make cargo doc pass --show-coverage?

not directly; you need to use something like cargo rustdoc -- -Z unstable-options --show-coverage

you could also use RUSTDOCFLAGS="-Z unstable-options --show-coverage" cargo doc which will spit out coverage for all crates it documents, but that also includes dependencies, so it will probably get out of hand
